The Death of the Old PR Model? posted on Friday, 02 May 2008

The standard model for billing clients in public relations may very well be on its way out - at least if David Oates has anything to say about it.

As president of Stalwart Communications, Oates has developed a business model for PR which, according to him, is more cost effective and better suited to the industry as a whole. Here, Oates discusses his revolutionary model in a one on one with bizSanDiego associate editor John Lincoln.

I am one that has embraced David's model and have had great success with Stalwart. Inherently, they strive for success and, I think, it also makes them realistic about what they think is achievable because they're vested in the outcome. As Dave said here, it is not a new model for other businesses, it just is new for PR. I understand why it has taken so long for POP to show up in this industry because results, while may be predictable, aren't guaranteed, but what in business really ever is?

It's not, BW, if you know what to measure and how to go about it. www.stalwartcom.com/PayonPerformance2.html

Great coverage. I have a feeling there might be a lot of agencies who start to pick up this model.

Good interview. I like this idea, but it seems hard to measure.
